hi please can you help me. I noticed you posted on a thread about asbestos in floor tiles and said they arent a real risk. My husband and I removed some floor tiles in our home a couple of years ago without realising they probably contained asbestos. The house was built in the 60s/70s and they were the black shney vinyl floor tiles. We tried to break as few as possible and I did wear a mask for some of it but we also spent time without a mask on and as it was the main room of the house spent a lot of time in the room while we were doing the work and then in the evenings!! I am terrified we have put ourselves at huge risk! Lots of tiles did break and we ate some food in there too (though we mainly ate in our kitchen - but downstairs has no doors!). We had windows open etc. Do i need to panic? what would be the best course of action for us? We have laminate now over where the floor tiles were removed but should we remove these and treat the floor underneth to prevent any asbestos escape? Or are we best to leave it and stop worrying? Please any advice would be really greatfully recieved! thanks Sam
